MP 40 feeder

[spaget]

Hello! I have one question for experts. I have mp 40 feeder at home without nazi markings. Is it german ww2 or not, beacause as far as i know they were not produced in Yugoslavia?

do you have any pictures ? always difficult to say without

Pictures would certainly help. When you say "feeder", do you mean a magazine? If so, it could be a British Sten magazine, which are often unmarked, and almost identical to MP40 magazines. They fit the gun, but don't feed well in that weapon.

I say they dont fit.Mag`s truly look alike but i have tried to put
sten`s mag into mp40 and they don`t fit.

Perhaps we're talking about a speed loader?

That's interesting. My Sten magazine fits my MP40! I can't explain the discrepancy.

Very simple!Dimensions of Sten mag is:22.5x38.5mm
and MP40 shows 23x34mm.
My Sten is MARK 2.I think other models use same magazines.

That makes sense! It does fit a little loosely, but most MP40 mags are also slightly loose. It locks in place and doesn't release by accident, but I don't think it would feed too well with all that play.
